Hello Arthur,
You may wish to check whether the "firewall" (whatever it is) only looks for
SYN packets - if I understand correctly, and if you already had an active connection, and
if only SYN requests are blocked, I think you might see the symptoms that you described.
If you were to disconnect the session from your work, and try to re-establish it, you may
obtain a different result.
Hoping this helps,

Subject: Re: [Fail2ban-users] Dumb Question (Was: Scriptkiddie regex - Help
Please)
Well, with thanks to everyone who helped - I now have this working!...
... or is it?
Dumb Question:
I am using this on a Fedora 27 Server (My previous experience of F2B was
when I was still on Fedora 18 when it certainly worked.
My scripkiddies regex is working, and entries are appearing in iptables.
But does Fedora 27 even use iptables anymore? I ask this because I did
something whilst I was at work (the server in question is my home
server) where I accidentally banned myself - except that I wasn't
banned! There was an entry in iptables for my work address, but I was
still able to access the site.
I think Fedora 27 uses firewalld. Is this different from iptables or
does it sit on top of it?
If not, is it still possible to use F2B to ban using firewalld?
Apologies for the stupid questions. Looking forward to some some help
that will stop me scratching my head!
Many thanks
Mark
